MDEV-25121: innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT fails on compressed tables
Tests with 4096-byte sector size confirm that it is safe to use O_DIRECT with page_compressed tables. That had been disabled on Linux, in an attempt to fix MDEV-21584 which had been filed for the O_DIRECT problems earlier. The fil_node_t::block_size was being set mostly correctly until commit 10dd290b (MDEV-17380) introduced a regression in MariaDB Server 10.4.4. fil_node_t::read_page0(): Initialize fil_node_t::block_size. This will probably make similar code in fil_space_extend_must_retry() redundant, but we play it safe and will not remove that code. Thanks to Vladislav Vaintroub for testing this on Microsoft Windows using an old-fashioned rotational hard disk with 4KiB sector size. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub
